Mr Gandhi, who assumed charge as Congress president on Saturday, campaigned for nearly two months in Gujarat and gave the BJP its toughest fight in Mr Modi's home state. Party leaders from both the BJP and Congress are hoping to win the public mandate in the hotly contested battle.

Exit polls were manipulated and not based on facts, Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh said on Saturday after results showed a clean sweep for the Bharatiya Janata Party in the state assembly elections.

On the other hand in Himchal Pradesh, it is the BJP which is questioning the Congress claims for development, and is pretty hopeful anti-incumbency factor to go in its favour. Whether the incumbent BJP or the underdog Congress wins, the Gujrat elections will have a wider effect not just in Gujarat but also across the country.
